Age of Conan: An Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Official Soundtrack

Posted October 7th, 2008 by Cody Bye

Since the release of Age of Conan, fans have ridden a roller coaster ride of bugs and fixes, gameplay additions and GM scandals. However, one element of the game that far exceeded all expectations was the incredibly vibrant and vivid score that was an intrinsic part of the early Age of Conan gameplay experience. With over three hours of varying music, it was a wonder that composer Knut Haugen was able to come up with 72 minutes of the "best" music to fit onto an official soundtrack. Recently, Knut took the time to write down his thoughts behind the CD's 25 tracks and also sent over six samples for the Ten Ton Hammer users to enjoy!

6. “Nighttime Journey through the Eiglophian Mountains”. This is the nighttime cue for the Eiglophian Mountains in Cimmeria. It’s a very evocative piece and a favourite among the developers. Helene Bøksle’s magical voice is the obvious focal point of this cue. Translated to English, the lyrics are as follows: I run through the cold snow – run through the snow in the cold moonlight. I feel the weight of my weapon and the strength in my arm. Mighty am I, blessed by Crom! I am Cimmerian and these are my mountains.
